Other months in Budva
Budva's forum calls July hot and sunny, daily highs over 30°C with nights staying around 20°C or a little above, and rainy or cloudy days genuinely rare. Regulars note the odd thunderstorm can turn up but typically passes within half an hour, usually as a short, intense downpour — the coast is also genuinely crowded by July, with some suggesting Montenegro's mountainous north as a cooler, quieter alternative.
